How do I copy files to 'root' folder?

Hey guys. I recently rooted my x10 running stock 2.3.3 . I hav since installed xrecovery also.
I tried to fix audio stutter problem by copying the audio fix zip file to the root folder. However it said that I cannot copy it. What to do.

in case you missed these.

in most explorer settings theres a root selection (asking root permissions)

in case you cant find it dowload root explorer and remember to change the ''mount'' to r/w

and im pretty new to all this so this is not something you should use until confirmation is given but can't you usually install these zips trough recovery ?

hope it helped.

Yeah dude frm xrecovey only we hav to do it. However it says to place the audio fix zip folder inside the root folder in system and then flash via xrecovery. I cannot place it inside the root folder. I copying frm.root explorer and doing it also. Still it says I don't hav permission.
The only thing I actually flashed via xrecovery was the frames per sec zip. In that case I could place the file anywhere on the SD card and do it.

could be wrong but i remember reading a line like that to 'placing it on your root folder'

basicly it ment putting it on the SD card

i believe you'll be able to install it by

*putting it on sd card
*go in to xrecovery
*install custom zip
*selecting the file and voila

im looking for otherf answers/problems and ill see if i find anything brb

pretty much all say flash like a rom incase it aint working then there might be a permission problem ? i think thats in advanced options in xrecovery (the permissons)

I fixed permissions in xrecovery. .still if u find out something abt it lemme know.

this is what i found looking for a tutorial on the audio fix

1.The first step is to make sure that you have upgraded your device to official Gingerbread and have root privileges with xRecovery installed. You can follow the video guides here to get root and xRecovery on your device after upgrading to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.

2.Now download the Xperia X10 Audio Stutter Fix zip package from here and save the archive on your desktop.

3.Now connect your phone to the computer, mount SD Card and copy the downloaded file to SD Card root.

4.Once done, reboot your device in xRecovery.

5.After you are in xRecovery, go to Install Custom Zip Package and in the resulting menu, select the zip file you earlier copied to SD Card root.

6.Now press OK to install the fix.

7.After the fix is flashed, reboot your device normally using Reboot in System option in recovery.

8.Now once your phone boots, play any song to check if stuttering has ceased.

so i dont know if you tried putting it on sd card or not if you did could you give me some info on what error your getting ?

Lol no error. I hav seen this very same.document. it says " mount SD card and copy to root folder "..... where is the root folder so that I can copy to that? ! Cuz when I mount it shows all the files on.SD card. It should show one directory above it.

i found that very confusing to seeing english isnt my native language but yes

it means just somewhere on the sd card whare you can find it will do

Hi,

Have you checked your phone installed with SuperUser too? It also involved for ''asking root permission'' for apps which need root access. Another thing, you can give ROM ToolBox a try? Many features provided along the apps including copy/explore/extract zipped files, RootBrowser, CPU kernel tweaks, editing Build.prop and many more
''Google is always your friend'' if you want to find its APK file

Extra: Copy ur files into SD card will be best way to be flashed via xrecovery
